Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

Section 13 amends section 239 of the 2000 Act to permit regulations to be made in relation to the granting of certificates of safety for fairground equipment which refer to technical guidance documents. Section 14 amends section 262(4) which provides that certain regulations made under the Act are subject to a requirement to get positive approval. This amendment will remove the requirement to get positive approval for procedural regulations in relation to development by State authorities while retaining the requirement that regulations determining the types of development which are approved under this special procedure will be subject to the positive approval requirement. Therefore, the same rules will apply in this case as, for example, in relation to a local authority's own development.
